Um, I'm not sure if I understood you. I've
used that component but can't find the code
anymore. I think all you want is
request.form("who") that will give you
the value= of an input with name=who
<form method='post'>
<select name='who'>
<option value="me@me.com">Harlan
<option value="you@you.com">You
</select>
<input type=submit name=submit value=submit>
</form>
request.form("who") gives you the value=
of whatever is selected, when they hit submit.
